VeloNews Photo Contest: A new winner and a new gallery

Our latest reader-submitted Photo Gallery is now up for your viewing pleasure.

Of course, a new gallery also means the naming of the winner of ourmost recent contest.

Take the time to wander through that gallery and see if you agree or disagree with our choice of winner. After looking through a remarkable selection of entries, we settled on Brett Rumble’s “Checking the weather on the Galibier.” We get a lot of photos of race leaders battling over the great climbs of the Tour, Giro and Vuelta, but for some reason this shot of the guys fighting not for a stage win, but to just make the day’s time cut, really stood out with us. (Besides, we always enjoy seeing our friend and VeloNews diarist Magnus Bäckstedt making his way up-and-over something as formidable as the Galibier.)

Congratulations Brett! Drop us a note at Rosters@InsideInc.com to work out the details and we’ll send you a copy of Graham Watson's "Landscapes of Cycling."Go ahead and take a look at our latest gallery,decide what you like and let us know what you think by dropping a noteto Rosters@InsideInc.com.
